‘Swift’s yahoos- they have come here too’ by Anvita Singh

The streets are bathed

with dirt and blood.

The cries of the naked children

pierce the still calm

of the early morning.

A painful reminder of the events

that took place a long time ago,

when earth was first

trampled upon by the Yahoos.
